Guest Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I started looking in to GCing the thing myself and it will be literally half the cost. I went driving around a neighborhood where I know pools were going in and just talked to the different trades and got their phone numbers. If you have the patience for it, seems like pool GCing is quite lucrative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
